Gout !!! after herceptin ??

[BonnieT]

Hello
I just finished my year of herceptin in August and last week my big toe started hurting and then went to throbbing , I couldn't even sleep at night, it hurt to put the sheets on my foot.So I went to the Dr. and I have gout , I am on meds now so hopefully it will clear up , I was wondering if anyone has experienced this after herceptin ??
Thanks
God Bless

Bonnie-


My toe has been infected, and we can't seem to clear it up - I never even considered anything but just an infection - and I know what you mean with the the pain with something as lightweight as a sheet being placed on it - I'll have to follow up again and get mine checked out...

Rhonda started a thread on those symptoms which disappeared(or appeared?) after herceptin stopped.
If you put a note regarding this in those threads should they ever be looked at by Genentech, some researcher, newspaper reporter or other, they might paint a more complete picture of what it is like to be treated with herceptin/what to expect once it is stopped(ie, what's missing from this picture?...)

On the thread I started I listed "symptoms real or perceived"--because some things are just coincidental and our perceptions are influenced by many things.

Thanks!
